[Great thing about New Feather cycles? Lots of pretty new faces, all of them in skimpy sundresses, many of them in need of a strapping hero to get them settled in. Jack has been kind enough to oblige a fair number of them. Not as many as he'd like, as he's been beaten to the punch several times. ~~Hiatuses, go figure.~~]

[Written]

To all the hotties out there, New Feathers or not, I'm Jack of the Tales. I'm in the market for helping out with some odd tasks. A man's got to keep himself busy, right? So lay something on me. As long as it ain't scrubbing toilets, I'm up for it. But just know that my usual line of work is hero business. It's part of why I'm so legendary.

[Some pen taps go here before:] In fact, if anyone's got any suggestions for a more permanent line of work, I'll hear it. [True, Jack is a conman and likes to skirt by doing nothing, but he's been doing that for a month now and it's going to drive him crazy.]

[Answers to his question or not, Jack is going to take a walk around town, with an absentminded dog-sized blue ox following him around. Jack could care less about the company. Aside from stopping in on the stores, he'll be having dinner at Seventh Heaven and later having a beer at Good Spirits. Also, he might be hanging around outside C4 for any new renters that have moved in. Of the female persuasion, of course, but he'll talk to guys too. He just won't care as much.]

((ooc: I suck at hiatus okay, shut up. Tags will come in spurts here and there.))

[Sorry to disappoint, Jack. But Piers will stop when addressed.]

A strange term when there is no money here to pay rent with. Do you live here then too?

[Renters, occupants, whatever. He's used to living in complexes like this.]

Yeah. I'm in Room 2.

[That would just be amazing to Piers if he knew. Only tall buildings he's ever seen are the lighthouses. And even they are not quite this tall.]

Ah, on the same floor then. I live in room 5. My name is Piers.

Jack Horner. [No 'nice to meet you' because it probably isn't.] How's Luceti finding you so far?

After the first couple of hours it's been decent enough. I guess I will know more once I have to see one of those "experiments".

We've had two since I've been here. I missed the first one - totally unaffected. Second one was kind of a bitch, though.

What sort of things can we expect? I know the guide gives the basics, but what makes that second one so bad for you?

[At least he's guessing that's what "kind of a bitch" means.]

The last one was very festive. You probably don't do Valentine's Day, seeing as you aren't the mundy type, but it's a popular love-centered holiday. Also a great day for scoring with some hot chicks. Most of the people around here started falling in love, with no rhyme or reason. Me? I get matched up with the finest, bustiest lady in this joint... only for us to act like an old married couple the entire time. End result? One helluva cold shower the week after.

So they even can change our feelings towards others? Do they repeat any of these? [Because yeah, falling in love with some random girl would be awkward at best.]

Classic love potion stuff. I've heard they like doing the love one, every year around Valentine's. The other ones? Couldn't tell you.

Then I think I will be glad I missed that one for now. I truly do not look forward to these.

You'd be crazy if you did.
